120 people turned out on Tuesday evening in Hollerich to commemorate the killing of a 24-year old man at the nightclub "M Club" on 10th April after a major dispute. A 17-year-old suspect, who was arrested at the scene, badly injured the victim in the neck with a broken glass that ultimately led to his tragic death.

A silent march took place together with a sea of white balloons.

The procession took the route to the hospital where the man died, with a banner that stated "The memory of you is painful,"

The silent march was led by the sister and the cousin of the victim. They both held a framed photo of white roses of the young man in their hands. Following them were relatives, friends and acquaintances, all wearing black t-shirts printed with the photo of the deceased man.

As a sign and protest against violence, and a symbol to remember the victim by, white balloons were released into the night sky by the Park & Ride adjacent to the M Club.
